 Hi Bill and All,
 I see a use for FGMO. Its not that it kill the mites , but it does make the
bees clean each other. Hence , it will invoke the need for hygienic
behavior. It could be useful with good hygienic stock in grooming the mites
off. Fogging FGMO will get the bees cleaning each other and has been
observed. For the rest of it I'm in agreement with Bill.
Best Regards
Roy
